When it was known that 2007 would represent the return of the Nike Air Structure, many people rejoiced. Things just got a bit better with a preview of some more upcoming colorways for this classic running shoe. When the Air Structure debuted almost 20 years ago, it represented a top of the line sneaker for those runners with overpronating gaits and the need for cushioning. These latest samples have returned with some nice simple colorways. They feature vertical striping which according to a source will be removed for the final product. Stay tuned for more details.
